There's some more information on Shingrix in the paper at the first link Chief. Shingles vaccines were touted as offering protection against Alzheimers but the results of research appesr inconclusive. There's even been some suggestion that VZV infection may help to protect against Alzheimers.

An Analysis of Spontaneously Reported Data of Vesicular and Bullous Cutaneous Eruptions Occurring Following Vaccination with the Adjuvanted Recombinant Zoster Vaccine - PubMed
Our findings provided evidence supporting a positive relationship between mononucleosis and AD, indicating a causal link between EBV infection and AD. Further elucidations of this association and underlying mechanisms are likely to identify feasible interventions to promote AD prevention.
Herpesvirus infections and Alzheimer's disease: a Mendelian randomization study - PubMed
Herpes zoster does not appear to increase dementia risk ― on the contrary, the viral infection may offer some protection, a large population-based study suggests.
"We were surprised by these results [and] the reasons for the decreased risk are unclear," study author Sigrun Alba Johannesdottir Schmidt, MD, PhD, with Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark, said in a news release.
